As a mod, I care a lot about precedent. And because I just set the precedent at 1 min (or less, rounding up) of vlogging equals one day of probation, I am afraid that my hands are now tied on this and I have no choice but to continue this policy indefinitely.

thank you for dealing with this scourge on our enjoyment of the forums

it sort of seems like you're externalizing your unfortunate situation and leading with the ways in which you are self harming for some reason, op. and now it's much more difficult to call out that behaviour on the basis you might literally be overdosing right now.

catching up on this thread. wanted to say the state of cspam seems p decent right now. The stuff i read here remains funny and interesting. Also about the only time i see exceedingly whiney and boring posters is when i read these kinds of threads so i reckon the forums are doing a good job of meeting their needs as well. unless theyre tedious and miserable everywhere here as well in which case i still say good job to cspam for keeping them tedious and miserable.

Oh and throw another lol on the "this sixer has made me feel unsafe" pile from me: lol

On a personal level I despise vlogs, preferring the anonymity and crisp, completely pointless delivery of the written post. On a professional level, I must respect the commitment to the craft. Don't free Alec! I will, however, finally click through and turn on the sound for his vlogs. Strictly the ones in the trump thread, though.

Why can't these vlog people make sure the mp4s they post are the kind of mp4s that embed as players and not as silent gifs, it's a passion to vlog don't half rear end it.

I want to know how much traffic is coming from phone apps versus computers, because it works fine on my phone but I see what you mean on PC.

mp4s do render as players, most browsers just disable the controls by default

put something like this in your custom scripts

code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Always show video controls
// @namespace    [url]http://tampermonkey.net/[/url]
// @version      0.1
// @match        [url]https://forums.somethingawful.com/*[/url]
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    $('.gifv_video video').attr("controls","controls")

})();

Yeah but all it would take is the addition of the "controls" attribute to the video tag to make it work, why should I need some janky rear end userscript in the year of our lord 2021?

no i disagree, we're talking about vlogging in here and we've pointed out that the forum's code is fighting our god-given right to vlog by hiding the unmute button. and astral was already posting in here, probably to make sure we didn't discover their heinously intentional omission of html tags
